  • Contingency Argument For Existence Of God

    Posted by ahmad arif on December 22, 2025 at 4:04 pm

    the contingency argument is presented in the favour of existence of God. The argument says that there must be a necessary entity otherwise we won’t be able to exist. But as we exist that means there is a necessary entity and that’s God. BUT WHY THAT ENTITY HAS TO BE A GOD? Why not a universe that is not contingent unlike ours. And why not a 100 universes which are not contingent. Why it must be one? surely the argument doesn’t states that it must be one, or it must be a personal being, a God. it just says there must be another entity that’s necessary and that can be anything….

    The world shows a design with deep and vast knowledge, which indicates an intelligent intention behind it. Everything follows a determined plan or orbit. The matter has no qualities to construct knowledge and intention. Therefore, we have to think beyond the matter to assume that it must have come from some conscious mind.

    Nothing creates; everything produces, therefore the question of the creator remains unanswered if we confine ourselves to matter only.

    We infer from what we see in our universe. It needs an intelligent and conscious designer to explain its creation.

    the universe you see and the necessary universe that might exist can be different in so many ways. Also intelligent design is a Separate debate. In no way the contingency argument (which I’m asking about specifically) suggests that necessary entity must be a God or One God. That’s my question. Does the contingency argument suggest that there must be a God and one God?

    The Quran does not use a contingency argument. It leads to a cause, which is not necessarily a conscious being.

    We see the whole creation with its intelligent design, not just creation.

    Even the secular people who don’t believe in God_ admit infinite causes is impossible

    Who put the material of big bang there at the first place?_ and why the blast happen? _ what is space itself?

    WHY does existence exist itself?

    Science don’t even know 95% of universe_ yes “95% universe are unseen”_ They call it dark energy and dark matter

    And Even if you believe in multiverse theory_ then The question still remain_ Who created these multiverses and where are they coming from?

    Science don’t even know how the consciousness work_ so I Don’t take their arguments seriously when they can’t even answer fundamental questions_ The everyday experience we are having is also one of the biggest mystery

    So All you can do is keep going back that and say point C is created by point B, and point B is created by A, but Who created point A?_ This is where you will hit a Wall

    So Even the atheist admit that there has to be “something enteral”_ They call it a energy or something that solve the problem of “infinite causes”_ but their main question is _ “is it conscious”?

    And I would say It is “beyond consciousness”_ It is beyond our mind can imagine_ It is beyond the words we can use, It is beyond the imagination that we can do.

    Even if you don’t call it a god_ “this energy or whatever you want to call it_ “Is the creator of existence itself”

    And Because consciousness Is something that exist inside existence_ so the creator of existence has to be “beyond it” logically to be a God

    And It has to be “one”_ one and only one
